***Official*** India in Sri Lanka 2015

[Pratters]

Gonna end in a draw.

 

[OverratedSanity]

calm down fellas ffs

stop expecting SL to just roll over

Thing is, Jono, the only way we win tests at all is if the opposition fall over like a pack of cards (ie) England at lord's and SL in the 2nd test. The moment the opposition mount a comeback when the pitch settles down, our bowlers lose all their teeth and they just mount a crazy comeback as easy as anything. Right now, India are basically just going through the motions waiting for the new ball.

I keep saying this and it keeps happening repeatedly. I must be saying something which has truth to it, I don't know.

Going to be like the SL coup of '98 against Zimb. Angelo-Kusal :: Aravinda-Arjuna

 

[OverratedSanity]

would certainly be up there. India have been better with bat, ball and in the field.

probably not. We've dropped loads. SL's catching in the 1st test especially was incredible.

Ah, the infamous "umpires raped us" match

 

[Pratters]

Wahhh

 

[OverratedSanity]

Boo, I give SL no credit whatsoever for coming back into this game. Every team does it. Nothing special. You suck Perrera.

That was Houghton being diplomatic

 

[YorksLanka]

well batted KP, keep going lad, another 100 run partnership from these two will make it very interesting..

 

[harsh.ag]

36 overs with the new ball. Jeez it's come to that.

Haha another 100 runs basically guarantees a SL win, surely. 50 more keeps it very tight.

 

[YorksLanka]

yikes, Angie, got away with that one..

 

[Dissector]

The Indian attack clearly lacks a leader who can take that one vital wicket when conditions are good and the batsmen well set. We had Zaheer for a few years and Kumble in India before that but it's been a problem over the last few years.

The bowling is looking really flat right now. SL is scoring only a bit below the required run rate. If Mathews stays till the end they will have a serious shot at winning this. There is a huge amount riding on that second new ball.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Thanks, BCCI

 

[viriya]

This is probably a jinx, but if Angelo pulls this off it will be one of the ATG 4th innings chase knocks.

Ha ha OS, as a SL fan I know how we can lose games from anywhere so wont celebrate a win till the fat lady has swallowed the mic too..lol

Yep, too reliant on the new ball. Shame these guys can't even keep the runs down. This is looking pretty bad.

If Yadav sprays the new ball around, we'll be in a massive hole.

 

[Dissector]

The RRR is 3.63 and this partnership has scored at 3.5. It's getting pretty scary...

 

[viriya]

These two need to put on another 50 for India to be worried.. So much history stacked against them pulling off 167 more runs in 45 overs with 5 wickets in hand on the last day.

 

[Dissector]

The last day part is largely meaningless. The pitch is harmless.
